POSTPONED: Helen Harrison at the Leiber Collection
Because of the forecast of stormy weather and flooding, Helen Harrison's talk at the Leiber Collection will be rescheduled to a date to be announced.
Meiselas and Morris
Susan Meiselas and Lindsay Morris, acclaimed photographers whose work is included in "RE:CYCLE -- The Ubiquitous Bike" at The Church in Sag Harbor, will be there for a conversation about the art of documenting human stories on Sunday at 6 p.m.
Known for her documentation of human rights issues in Latin America, Ms. Meiselas focuses on the lives, stories, and perspectives of subjects on the edge of the mainstream. Her work is based on immersion, collaboration, and understanding her subjects' points of view.
Ms. Morris, who lives in Sag Harbor, takes her personal life and the stories of her community as her subject. Documenting the experience of a weekend summer camp for gender-expansive children and their families led to a 2016 BBC documentary and her monograph, "You Are You."
Tickets are $20, $10 for members.
Creative Workshop
Mary Boochever, whose solo show, "Chart of the Inner Warp," is on view at Guild Hall, is up next in the venue's Creative Lab series on Tuesday at 6 p.m. Participants will learn about her work through a lecture and workshop.
Ms. Boochever has been developing her own color language for more than four decades, drawing upon sources as diverse as Goethe's color theory, theosophy, alchemy, kabbalah, feng shui, and Chinese medicine. The program will include a tour of her exhibition and an exploration of her practice through introductory tai chi and qigong movements.
Pay-what-you-wish tickets start at $5.
Mishap or Murder?
As the longtime director of the Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center in Springs, Helen Harrison is especially qualified to speculate on the death of Jackson Pollock and his passenger, Edith Metzger, in a 1956 auto accident. She has done so in "An Accidental Corpse," the second novel in her Art of Murder Mysteries series.
Ms. Harrison will discuss the book at the Leiber Collection in Springs on Sunday at 4 p.m. Called "edifying and juicy" by Newsday, the book proposes that Metzger was dead before the accident, and the subsequent investigation by two detectives implicates famous members of East Hampton's art community, including Pollock.
Images on Paper
Haubrich Art at 39 Isle of Wight Road in Springs will open its holiday show, "Framed/Unframed," with a reception on Saturday from 4 to 6 p.m. It focuses on images on paper, both through traditional materials as well as photography.
Participating artists are John Haubrich, Denise Gale, Christa Maiwald, Mark Perry, Adriana Barone, and Anthony Allison. The show will be up through Jan. 1 by appointment through [email protected].
Picturing New York
"New York State of Mind," an exhibition of images of various areas of the state by members of the East End Photographers Group, can be seen at the Salmagundi Club's Rockwell Gallery at 47 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan from Monday through Dec. 23.
The show includes work by Joseph Berretto, Ron Buchter, Anne Brandeis, Jody Cukier, Cynthia DiGiacomo, Gerry Giliberti, Dave Johns, Richard Law, Joel Lefkowitz, Keith Manning, Joanna McCarthy, Joan Santos, Jim Slezak, Kerry Sharkey-Miller, Marilyn Stevenson, Mark Testa, Alan Weinschel, and Mia Wisnoski.
An Antonakos Moment
Stephen Antonakos, who divided his time between SoHo and Sag Harbor until his death in 2013, is the subject of a new monograph from Rizzoli, "Stephen Antonakos: Neon and Geometry," which features an essay by David Ebony. The book ranges from his early work with found objects to his public works, neon panels, pencil drawings, and spiritual chapels.
In addition, Bookstein Projects in Manhattan, where his work is on view through Friday, Dec. 15, has organized a panel discussion about the book and about the artist's "Terrains" series, set for Monday at 6 p.m. at New York City Center. The panelists are Joseph Giovannini, an architect and critic, Deborah Goodman Davis, an art adviser and curator, and Evangelia Antonakos, a professor of mathematics and computer science.
Registration for the panel is by emailing [email protected].
